Recipe: Spicy Ginger Molasses Cookies

2 cups AP flour (I used whole wheat for 1/2 of it, and it worked fine)

1 1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup molasses

1 egg

Additional sugar

Yoghurt covered raisins (or just regular ones)

1. Preheat oven to 375F.

2. Combine flour, ginger, soda, cloves, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

3. Beat butter and 1 cup sugar in large bowl of electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add molasses and egg; beat until well blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed just until blended.

4. Drop dough by level 1/4 cupfuls onto parchment-lined cookie sheets (if you don't have parchment paper, you can just spray the pan with oil - you might need to lower oven temp. if you do this), spacing 3 inches apart. Flatten each ball of dough until 2 inches in diameter with bottom of glass that has been dipped in additional sugar. Press 7-8 raisins into the top of each cookie.
